how i feel about all the changes in s3

[lichposting]

I’m really enamored with the dynamic of two characters who work perfectly in tandem, like pacific rim drift compatible level, but they don’t like each other. It’s not even as strong an emotion as hate it’s just a very neutral-negative dislike, but they still act in perfect concert and their individual abilities are fully complementary

"Prison?" Benjamin echoed, scoffing out a laugh. "If you throw everyone in jail who remarks on your eating habits, then I'm afraid your kingdom's population will dwindle relatively quickly...do I not even get a trial?"

When Emma clarified that her mother was concerned about her daughter's less than legal friends, he had to sneer. "Well, if you're encouraging unlawful imprisonment, I guess I can see why they feel so inclined." He didn't intend on letting this one go -- not for a long, long while.

It felt good to be this way, natural, and by the time farewells were in order, Benjamin was genuinely sorry that her parents had to move on to the rest of their duties. He shook David's hand, and once Mary Margaret moved to kiss both his cheeks, that same dull ache from earlier returned to his heart. He hadn't been held, truly held, in a mother's embrace in nearly a decade.

Once Benjamin and Emma were alone, the latter was quick to start teasing him. "You waltzed in so confident! Oh my God! You were so ready!"

"I...I was not!" he exclaimed, though the pleased glimmer in his eyes proved quite the opposite. Finally, he joined in on her laughter, visible relief lighting up his features. "I was so nervous," he confessed. "I've never met...I-I mean, growing up, I pretty much knew every man, woman and child in town, so this was different. I felt as though I had to make a good impression, especially since they're your parents." His smile softened with shyness. "Whomever is important to you is important to me...I didn't want to screw it up."

Gently, he gave her a playful nudge. "Stop laughing at me. I didn't stay up all night reading Pamela just to have you undermine my efforts."

"I know, they are so embarrassingly happy," Emma agreed with a wide smile, always grateful for it - but also wishing that as a daughter she didn't have to risk witnessing too much affection between them. They were her parents, after all, it was bad enough she had to listen to people make comments about their appearance. Grace in primis. Is that your polite way of telling me to stuff it? I think this is the rudest you've ever been "I could be even more rude," she threatened, "Just you watch me." It was funny that Bradford of all people came up after that, considering she could be downright aggressive with the man.

the entire camp applauded the display, because he had it coming "You didn't!" Mary Margaret gasped, "Emma! You are our ambassador!" "Yes," David replied, "and she's showing men from outside Mysthaven that our women don't take kindly to rudeness, I'd say it's a good move. "Of course you'd approve." Emma hadn't expected her father to scold her for one second, given that he was the one who promised 'punches to the face' to people in the first place, but had the good grace to attempt to look guilty to her mother, who clearly didn't buy it.

Unless she was only in it for the wedding cake, of course, Ben had the gall to respond to her mother, and Emma elbowed him as her father laughed, at least, "How dare you? Dad! Prison!" "Yes, yes, we'll arrest him before leaving." "Unbelievable, the disrespect coming from a man who reads in his spare time..." Mary Margaret smiled warmly at both, enjoying the light time they were having even there at a camp. She remembered better than anyone how important it was to find reasons to laugh during a war. "If you survive Emma, you'll be more than welcome in Mysthaven, Major Tallmadge. We are quite used to Emma bringing people home from all over the world, but a teacher would be an... especially pleasing change." "I have friends who are less..." Emma searched for the words, "Inclined to stay on the legal side? That's what she means."

Both her parents looked pleased as Ben told them he had revaluated his view of Monarchs, and after getting up to leave with more parting words, her father gave his characteristic pat-on-the-back men got from him, while her mother, who had never set foot in the Colonies before and hadn't learned to adjust - would she even have to? Monarchs brought their own customs even more than princesses, queens even more so than kings - did as people did in their country and took his shoulders to kiss his cheeks, smiling with the same endeared warmness a grandmother would offer a child. It was a bit funny to think Ben had seen her do both to people, and at least now he knew where she was coming from. "It was lovely to meet you, Major. Sweetheart, we'll see you later!" "Love you!" "Love you both!" Emma called, grinning and blowing them another kiss.

And then, as they were gone, she started laughing, leaning against the little table there. "You waltzed in so confident! Oh my God! You were so ready!"

i love the idea of a man who is just hellbent on spoiling you until you start getting bratty and difficult because you are always sooooo accommodating and careful not to push his buttons but he wants you to feel safe with him and wants you to get used to getting what you want whenever you want it. you’re his sweet little baby but he wants you to be greedier

Sir David Suchet on which detective he would play other than Poirot → January 12 2024

"People always ask me what is it about my Poirot that is so endurable and memorable. It's nothing to do with me, actually. I lifted the character from Agatha Christie's books and, hopefully, got it right, for Agatha Christie and her millions of fans worldwide. But, for the viewers, I think, he's also a great moral compass. So, when you're watching him, you feel safe, you feel secure, and everything is gonna be alright. And, I think that's a lovely feeling." - David Suchet, Capital Theatres interview

Anson Mount on Jonathan Frakes directing Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

Anson Mount and fellow Strange New Worlds cast-members Celia Rose Gooding and Melissa Navia, all of them huge fans of Jonathan Frakes, shared an anecdote at their Emerald City Comic Con panel in Seattle. → March 9 2025

They said Frakes always goes "Cut print!" at the end of a take and if he doesn't do it for some reason, it makes them wonder if he didn't like the take! :)

“It’s quite beautiful here. There’s something almost magical about it, don’t you think?”

“I suppose there's a certain charm to nature's simplicity, if you’re someone who finds such things interesting.”

“So then it’s true when they say dragons just hoard treasure all day. I shouldn’t have expected you to understand.”

“Hmph. I may be a dragon, but I can still appreciate beauty when it’s in front of me.”

This is my daughter Hester! She is a string eater- so no strings allowed into the house. She is also a Thief! When she was a kitten (about 1kg) she stole 2kgs of meat, dragged it under a sofa so she could eat it. We literally accused my dad of first leaving it in the shops and second, that he imagined buy the meat 🤣 She later stole my mum's necklace when she went for a shower- her wedding rings were threaded through it as well. Also my mum's gold watch, and a container with gold earrings in it.

When she drinks water it sprinkles up onto her nose and leaves her with fashionable sparkles, or if I give her kisses without realising, a little sip of water that she shares with me 😆

She is currently living with my parents bc I work insane shift hours and she would be very lonely.... no one thinks about how lonely I might be!! I miss her a lot 😢

Hester has been assigned the title: Arcane Trickster.

Lovely new article about Michael in Paste magazine. Article is behind a paywall, so here is a transcription (with thanks to the person on FB who transcribed it, and the parts in bold are my own emphasis).

There’s so much to love about Prime Video’s Good Omens. A delightful adaptation of the popular Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett novel of the same name, the series is romantic, thoughtful, hilarious, and heartfelt by turns. The story of the almost-apocalypse and what comes afterward, it wrestles with big concepts like destiny, free will, and forgiveness, all framed through the lens of an unorthodox relationship between an angel and a demon whose love for one another is a key to saving the world.

As anyone who has watched Good Omens already knows, nothing about this series works without the pair of lead performances at its center. Stars David Tennant and Michael Sheen—who play the demon Crowley and the angel Aziraphale, respectively—have the kind of lighting-in-a-bottle chemistry that’s the stuff of legend, and their characters’ every interaction conveys both their deep affection for one another and the Earth they’ve made their home. Their romance is the emotional linchpin around which most of the series turns, and their heartbreaking separation in the Season 2 finale is so devastating precisely because we’ve seen how necessary the two are to each other’s lives.

But it’s Sheen’s performance in that final scene that really twists the knife. As Aziraphale’s face crumples following his and Crowley’s long-awaited kiss, the actor manages to convey what feels like every possible human emotion in the span of less than thirty seconds as the angel realizes what he has both had and just lost. The moment is emotionally brutal to watch, particularly after sitting through five and a half episodes of Aziraphale looking as lovestruck as the lead in any rom-com. Sheen makes it all look effortless, shifting from giddy joy to devastated longing and everything in between, and we really don’t talk enough about how powerful and underrated his work in this series truly is.

Though he’s half of the central duo that makes Good Omens tick, Sheen’s role often tends to get overshadowed by his co-star’s. It’s not difficult to see why, given that Tennant gets to spend most of the show swanning around in tight trousers looking like the Platonic ideal of the charming bad boy, complete with flaming red hair and dramatic eyewear. Tennant also benefits from Crowley’s much more sympathetic emotional arc. I mean, it’s hard not to love a cynical demon with a heart of gold who’s been pining after his angelic best friend for literal millennia even after being cast out from Heaven. Of course, viewers are drawn to that—likely a lot more easily than the story of an angel who’s simply trying the best he can to do the right thing as he wrestles with his role in God’s Ineffable Plan. Plus, let’s be real, Tennant’s sizeable Doctor Who fanbase certainly doesn’t hurt his character’s popularity.

As a performer, Sheen has a long history of playing both real people (Tony Blair, David Frost, Brian Clough) and offbeat villains (Prodigal Son’s Martin Whitly, Underworld’s Lucian, the Twilight Saga’s Aro). In some ways, the role of a fussy, bookish angel is playing more than a bit against type for him—Gaiman himself has said he originally intended for Sheen to be Crowley—but in his capable hands, Aziraphale becomes something much more than a simple avatar for the forces of Good (or even of God, for that matter). With a soft demeanor and a positively blinding smile, Sheen’s take on the character consistently radiates warmth and goodness, even as it contains surprisingly hidden depths. The former guardian of the Eastern Gate of Eden who gifted a fleeing Adam and Eve his flaming sword and befriended the Serpent who caused their Fall, Azirphale isn’t a particularly conventional angel. He enjoys all-too-human indulgences like food and wine, runs a Hoarders-esque bookshop that never seems to sell anything, and spends most of his time making heart eyes at the being that’s meant to be his hereditary adversary.

Given the much more difficult task of playing the literal angel to Tennant’s charming devil, Sheen must find a way to make ideas like goodness and forgiveness as interesting and fun to watch as their darker counterparts. It’s a generally thankless task, but one that Sheen tackles with gusto, particularly in the series’ second season, as Good Omens explores Aziraphale’s slowly evolving idea of what he can and cannot accept in terms of being a soldier of Heaven. His growing understanding that the truth of creation is colored in shades of grey and compromise is often conveyed through little more than Sheen’s deftly shifting expressions and body language.

Our pop culture consistently struggles to portray the idea of goodness as something compelling or worth watching. Explicitly “good” characters, particularly those who are religiously coded, are frequently treated as the butt of some sort of unspoken joke they aren’t in on, used to underline the idea that faith is a form of naivety or that kindness is somehow a weakness. For a lot of people, the entire concept of turning the other cheek is a sucker’s bet, and believing in something greater than oneself, be it a higher power or a sense of purpose, is a waste of time. But Good Omens is a story grounded in the idea that faith, hope, and love—for one another, God, and the entire world—are active verbs. And nowhere is that more apparent than in Sheen’s characterization of the soft angel whose old-fashioned waistcoats mask a spine of steel and who refuses to give up—on Crowley, on humanity, or on the idea that Heaven is still something that can be saved.

Though he and Tennant have pretty much become a matched set at this point (both on and off-screen), Sheen’s performance has rarely gotten the critical accolades it deserves. (Tennant alone was nominated for a BAFTA for Season 2, and Sheen was categorized as a supporting actor when the series’ competed in the 2019 Saturn Awards.) But it is his quiet strength that holds up so much of the rest of the show around him, and Sheen deserves to be more frequently recognized for it. That he makes it look so easy is just another sign of how good his performance really is.

I love this so much. The thoroughly well-deserved praise for Michael's incredible performance as Aziraphale, but also that Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship is specifically described as a "romance." And of course, the first sentence of the last paragraph that acknowledges how much Michael and David are indeed a "matched set" that cannot (and should not) be separated...
